990.47, depreciation charges ad
vanced $5,073.86. and taxes moved
up $64,908.46. Deductions for in
terest payments, etc., required $32,
000 more than last year, leaving a

NEW YORK, May 28.—Traders
dumped stocks In today's market,
as war bearishness revived with the
surprising capitulation of Belgium
to Germany but bought some of
them back later and substantially
reduced early losses running to 7
or more points.
The forenoon shock to sentiment
was subsequently offset to some ex
tent by Prime Minister Churchill's
speech to the House of Commons
declaring that, while the situation
was exceptionally serious, the Brit
ish and French would fight on to
the finish.
Blocks of 1,000 to 10,000 shares
were turned over at the start as
frightened holders scurried to neu
tral territory. Several pivotal steels,
aircrafts and motors were nearly 15
minutes late in making their ap
pearance owing to difficulty of spe
cialists in co-ordinating bid and
asked prices.
Offerings quickly dried up and a
recovery move got under way. Deal
ings, however, slowed to a crawl. At
the close many issues which had
slumped to new 2-year lows more
than halved their early declines.
Transfers were around 1,300,000
shares, with volume picking up a
bit in the final hour.
The belief that the domestic re
armament program, already huge,
would be greatly accelerated if the
Nazis won, acted as a sustaining in
fluence, notably for steels which
were among the first to convalesce.
Announcement of the adminis
tration's plan to finance defense
expenditures by new taxes, special
bonds and an increase of $3,000,000
000 in the national debt limit,
brought new market repercussions
although some inclined to Interpret
it as mildly inflationary.
Conspicuous on the forenoon slide
were United States Steel, Bethle
hem, Chrysler, General Motors,
Douglas Aircraft, Glenn Martin,
Sperry, Du Pont, Eastman Kodak,
American Smelting, Anaconda,
American Telephone, Sears Roe
buck, United States Rubber and
Great Northern.
